A Historic Opportunity for PSG
Under the guidance of manager Luis Enrique, PSG has undergone a significant transformation. Moving away from a reliance on marquee signings, the team now emphasizes collective play and the development of young talent. This shift has propelled them to the final, overcoming formidable opponents like Arsenal in the semi-finals with a 3-1 aggregate victory. Key players such as Ousmane Dembélé, who has netted 33 goals this season, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia have been instrumental in this journey.
A win would not only secure PSG’s maiden Champions League title but also complete a historic treble, having already clinched the Ligue 1 and Coupe de France titles this season.
Inter Milan’s Pursuit of Redemption
Inter Milan, led by Simone Inzaghi, seeks to add a fourth Champions League trophy to their cabinet. Their path to the final included a dramatic 7-6 aggregate win over Barcelona in the semi-finals, highlighted by Davide Frattesi’s decisive goal.
Despite narrowly missing out on the Serie A title to Napoli, Inter’s resilience and tactical discipline have been evident throughout the tournament. Captain Lautaro Martínez, with 22 goals this season, remains a pivotal figure in their attacking lineup.
